I will be running a small Ford 6 blade steel fan and the fan hub mount that adjusts. You can see the set up minus the fan in the initial mock up...
Thank you for sharing what you did to the car. Hope you don’t mind me referencing your car. It’s one I keep for reference/inspiration ;)
I know...you try and be different and then realize why everyone does the same thing! haha BTW neat car!
Right, I like the 28-29 shell and want this to be a little different than a 32 shell. Yea, the headlight car is THE LOOK haha. I found it on here...
I won't disagree and was planning to use the 26/7 shell initially, however T rads are meant to drop down into the T crossmember. I am running the...
Very cool, hope you went for that Sprint. Yea Sprints are fun. A factory example of the old hot rod mentality "small car and big(ger) engine"....
Ok, nice. Do you remember what you ended up taking out of the radiator off hand?
Thanks! Good advice, then tweak things with body blocks afterwards? My only concern is if I reduce the height of rad and drop the shell only, I...
Below are two pics of the mock up right now with the rad shell just sitting on the frame. Stock height I think is up 1/4"-1/2" from there. 2nd...
Hello, I am working on a 27 T roadster on 28 Model A frame (flathead, dropped axle, 3 speed etc). Very pre-war look. With that said, I am...
Just to close the book on this, I went to a local shop that rebuilds alternators/gens/starters and they rebuilt it for under $200. Absolute full...
Stock stance but the 15” torque thrust wheels totally changed my 63 Sprint. Kept the 13” 5 lugs and spinner caps of course. Not much of a mag...
Sneak peek from this afternoon…
Fun times…if the generator fried for sure, I would think I would have had trouble running the car on the way back…? I have had an alternator go...
Ok, pulled the cap off the regulator and that all looks fine fine points etc. I have the tech manual for the car so there should be some generator...
Thanks! So... replace the voltage regulator and then what needs to be done to the generator?
Hey guys, I figured the HAMB could help me with a generator question! Yesterday I ran an errand with my 63 Falcon Sprint. Engine is a full...
All this talk of Mickey Mouse led me to remember my 66 custom cab I bought in high school and fixed up. Not only did it have bare wire twisted...
Good stuff guys, I was hoping for an easy fix I was overlooking but it appears like anything: advanced planning, time, trial/error and maybe a...
Hey guys, Does anyone have advice or tips for adjusting doors on a Falcon? Specifically a 63 convertible. I had the doors off to rebuild the...
Excellent replies here. Thanks you for giving my lots to check check out. I think I am leaning towards brass/copper (ouch!). I am really thinking...
I know… and with a T it is so out there and exposed… not to mention I plan to run no hood and side panels… so is Brassworks the only ones left who...
Sorry, I meant to respond sooner! Thanks for sharing. Any pictures of the engine side of the rad? Do you remember what eBay brand/seller you got...
Looking for any ideas on a 26/27 T radiator for a flathead. I know Brassworks still makes them and probably would be gorgeous… but for $900…has me...
Yea, maybe at a low speed impact…it reminds me of a story my grandfather told me, he was in his 54 Chevy when a 65 mustang hit him head on. He was...
A sobering thread to read. I thought of this video I saw [MEDIA] A crash test demonstration of a ‘09 Malibu vs a ‘59 Malibu. The old stuff is fun...
And this is a t but with more v-8 running gear… less of the stock rolling A chassis like the previous car. I am putting my car together too. I’m...
Nice start with the rolling chassis. I was at TROG and took these pictures. You might like it. I am building a 26 on A frame so I always like to...
I would call my Falcon 60’s style. I imagined if I was a teenager in the 60s, I would have been able to afford a Sprint but would have added ET/...
Should we assume this is a 6cyl falcon with all 6cyl running gear? Not a 1st gen sprint with a v8?
Separate names with a comma.
